I am waiting for him to launch his Starlink X phone. I will jump all over this.

As for a Tesla car, I don't like cars so it's a no go for me. I prefer a SUV type but as I mentioned above.. my neighbors bought his cars before he even took over X and they absolutely love them... and my neighbors are MAGA

I am looking into the starlink internet though.

It's worth it. We left Hughes net an run 2 houses with streaming TVs off one unit with the booster. Works great for us.

When I can tow my boat 350 miles on a single charge that lasts 7mins, I might consider one... for tax purposes

Ehh, frick that, I got a 5.0 V8 that hums the most beautiful sound, and I dont ever want to get rid of it

I'll keep my f150 lariat fully kitted out and enjoy life like it was meant to be lived... seriously tho, I smile every day I get in it and drive... yea, this is a love letter to V8s and trucks, but I know when I need this fricker to do work, it will come through as it has in the past

Electric cars/trucks are sterile... neutered.... they just aren't right... they don't belong in the hands of drivers... they belong in the hands of hobbyists... they're play toys and pathetic status symbols of the middle upper class... they're jokes... for now

Also, Tesla is the most American made car you can buy


“Tesla, Honda, VW, Toyota, Jeep, and Lexus all make the Top 10 in Cars.com's 19th annual Most American-Made Vehicle Index. Tesla, the only domestic automaker to do so. “

How screwed up is that.

I was interested in the cybertruck as a weekend vehicle only until my neighbor got one.

Maybe it's gotten better in the last few months but that was a mess of a vehicle and bricked twice due to software updates.

Can't really do the smaller ones with kids but they seem way more reliable.

frick no. Maybe log cabin republicans, but no straight male would ever drive an electric vehicle.

I audited a cellphone refurbishing company in Dallas recently and every owner and manager had a Tesla.

Weirdly, I had declined a Tesla at the rental car desk because they said I would have to return it fully charged. Had I known the parking lot of the company was full of chargers I would have done it.

No. They buy gasoline/diesel engines. Tesla are conspicuous consumption just like IPhones.

My wife needs a new car, was thinking of an Acadia, now strongly considering a Tesla. She has a short commute to work, honestly it would be perfect as we could take one of my kids’ ice cars on long trips.

Possibly the most profound reply I have ever received.

I know a guy with a tractor pulling team that drives a Tesla.


Yes, I did find it kind of surprising, but he ain't gay and he sure isn't a dem.

His wife drives an Escalade.
